Ingredients
Brownies
- 1 1/4 cups dates *soaked in hot water for 20 mins
- 1 cup mixed nuts & seeds *I did 1/2 cup cashews, 1/ cup pumpkin seeds, 1/4 cup walnuts
- 1/2 cup almond butter *or other nut/seed butter
- 1/4 cup hemp seeds
- 2/3 cup cacao powder
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 tsp instant espresso *totally optional!
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- good pinch sea salt
- handful of cacao nibs, goji berries, etc. Whatever you want to add in (if anything!)
Coatin
- 1 1/3 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Note: Have fun with these! You can use nuts/seeds you prefer, add some coconut sugar if you want them sweeter, add mix-in's, etc! You can always taste the dough after processing it and adjust!
- Soak the dates: Soak the dates in super hot water for 20 minutes. Drain them, then they are ready to use!
- Add the dates, nut butter, and water to a food processor, processing until a paste-like consistency. Then add in the remaining ingredients. You'll need to stop and scrape down the sides and break up the mixture to really get it to all blend together.
- Once a cohesive dough forms, fold in any mix-in's you'd like. Then press the mixture into a lined loaf pan and place in the freezer for 2-3 hours, until firm. Remove from the pan and cut into bite sized pieces.
- Melt the chocolate until smooth. Dip each brownie bite into the chocolate. Set them on a lined baking sheet.Return to the freezer for a few hours to allow them to completely firm up.
